Just a quick update re mum. Had another scan at Chrisites and they have now found that her Carotid artery in her neck is blocked. One side is nearly blocked and the other part way. It seems that things go from bad to worse. She has now lost another 10 pounds since we last went so is now in her 7stones. She has no appetite and it is difficult to convince her to eat, yet she is more worried about me having the bypass, may have to postpone to stop her worrying so much. Not sure what to do at the moment. Wow feel better now ive got that off my chest. Thanks guys x
